1 00:00:01,309 --> 00:00:04,949 Speaker 1: From the WGLT newsroom, I'm Colleen Holden. The top judge 2 00:00:04,949 --> 00:00:08,228 Speaker 1: overseeing five central Illinois counties says money and resources are 3 00:00:08,228 --> 00:00:11,149 Speaker 1: the reason the 11th Judicial Circuit doesn't have a specialty 4 00:00:11,148 --> 00:00:15,189 Speaker 1: court for emerging adults. McLean County's latest behavioral health plan 5 00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:18,350 Speaker 1: recommends a diversion court for 18 to 25-year-olds. That's a 6 00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:21,549 Speaker 1: group experiencing rising rates of criminal justice involvement as crime 7 00:00:21,549 --> 00:00:23,229 Speaker 1: trends downward across the state. 8 00:00:23,819 --> 00:00:27,299 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Casey Costigan says problem solving courts are excellent, 9 00:00:27,579 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: but resources are already stretched thin. 10 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: Even judicial resources are stretched, and we don't put in 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,589 Speaker 2: the time that probation puts in. 12 00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:40,860 Speaker 1: Costigan says McLean County is a leader in supporting emerging 13 00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:42,098 Speaker 1: adults on probation. 14 00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:45,330 Speaker 1: The city of Bloomington's police chief says his department has 15 00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:49,409 Speaker 1: learned of previous immigration officers' presence from community members. Jamal 16 00:00:49,409 --> 00:00:52,888 Speaker 1: Symington says BPD has had no communication with immigration officials 17 00:00:52,889 --> 00:00:56,250 Speaker 1: in the past 3 years. State law prohibits police from 18 00:00:56,250 --> 00:01:00,330 Speaker 1: collecting immigration status. Symington says one exception is when undocumented 19 00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:01,790 Speaker 1: immigrants get arrested. 20 00:01:02,319 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: In that procedure of being processed, they are fingerprinted. Those 21 00:01:06,199 --> 00:01:10,518 Speaker 1: fingerprint records are then transmitted to the federal government, the FBI. That's, that's, 22 00:01:10,589 --> 00:01:13,429 Speaker 1: that's beyond our control. That's the FBI. The FBI requires 23 00:01:13,430 --> 00:01:18,309 Speaker 1: us to fingerprint folks for arrest records. Symington gave a 24 00:01:18,309 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: presentation about immigration enforcement and policing this week to the 25 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,139 Speaker 1: city's Police Accountability Board. 26 00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:27,379 Speaker 1: A new evidence-based funding formula for higher education has advanced 27 00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:30,099 Speaker 1: to the Illinois House floor for a vote. The bill 28 00:01:30,099 --> 00:01:32,620 Speaker 1: wants to make a more equitable funding system for funding 29 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,980 Speaker 1: higher ed. Illinois State University professor Christy Borders testified before 30 00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 1: the committee on behalf of the university professionals of Illinois. 31 00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:45,819 Speaker 1: Contrary to what some might believe, institutions cannot simply enroll 32 00:01:45,819 --> 00:01:50,059 Speaker 1: our way out of this underfunding issue. Borders says Illinois 33 00:01:50,059 --> 00:01:52,599 Speaker 1: State University has had to make cuts to programs because 34 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:53,839 Speaker 1: of the lack of funding. 35 00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:57,220 Speaker 1: Some Abraham Lincoln artifacts intended to be displayed at his 36 00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:00,900 Speaker 1: Springfield Presidential Museum appear to be up for auction. These 37 00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,419 Speaker 1: items bear a striking resemblance to known artifacts from the 38 00:02:03,419 --> 00:02:06,069 Speaker 1: taper collection. Some of the collection was sold last May 39 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:09,949 Speaker 1: to pay off the foundation's multi-million dollar acquisition debt. I'm calling.
